Cyber Monday 2017 UK cycling deals: last chance to upgrade before sales end

Retailers have long since extended their discounts after Black Friday, across the weekend and on to ‘Cyber Monday’. The idea being that shoppers would raid the stores over the weekend in person, then log on to shop during their [extended] lunch breaks at work on Monday.

Admittedly not cycling specific, but if you want to track your lifestyle and check you’re keeping active outside of the time you spend on the bike, the Fitbit with Heart Rate is where it’s at – and you can keep an eye on your resting heart rate too – giving you an early indication of fatigue build up.

Wahoo Elemnt GPS – was £249, now £189.99

Using ANT+ and Bluetooth, the Wahoo Elemnt has become a major competitor for Garmin. Set your fields up using an app and record distance, speed, elevation and heart rate/power/cadence with the relevant add ons.

Garmin Edge 1000 was £499.99, now £299.99

The all singing/all dancing version – the Garmin Edge 1000 has now been superseded by the Garmin Edge 1030 – but it’s still a high tech device with brilliant navigation and fitness metrics – such as auto FTP testing.

Best Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2017 bike light deals

You need a white light on the front of your bike and a red light on the rear – by law if you’re riding in the dark. A beam over 1000+ lumes acts much like a car headlight – which means you can ride almost as you would during summer. Road specific versions ensure you don’t dazzle other road users.

Hoicmoic USB Rechargeable Bike Lights – was £50.99, now £16.99

USB rechargable lights at a bargain price, on a Lightning Deal from Amazon – in a few hours they’ll be £22.99 – which is still a decent saving

When is Cyber Monday?

This year, Cyber Monday falls on the November 27, which marks the perfect opportunity to do that last little bit Christmas shopping.

What is Cyber Monday?

Black Friday shoppers spent more in 2016 than 2015 – with the majority of sales made online

Well, to be honest, it’s largely an extension of Black Friday. The lines blur a little, but you can expect the deals to continue from Black Friday (24th Nov) over the Saturday and Sunday and on to Cyber Monday.

Here in the UK, the phenomenon is quite recent, and is best associate with enormous tech discounts. However, there is actually loads of opportunities to snap up awesome cycling deals.

As you might expect, since the explosion of internet shopping, events such as Cyber Monday have become enormously popular.

In fact, Cyber Monday last year saw British shoppers spend a mind boggling £1.8 billion, and £5.8 billion in the four days from Black Friday to Cyber Monday.

With numerous online cycling retailers, cyclists in the UK are well set to benefit from the American tradition. Last year, Evans Cycles, Chain Reaction Cycles, Wiggle and many more offered up big discounts on loads of cool cycling kit.

It’s a “tradition” that obviously works in favour of the retailers because they can get rid of the remnants of this year’s stock before taking on 2018’s produce.

When will the Cyber Monday deals be available

Most retailers do a pretty good job of sign posting their cyber monday cycling deals. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean the discounts start at 00.01 on Monday morning.

As we mentioned earlier, the lines are increasingly blurring, whatever deals happen over the weekend, the chances are they’ll double on actual Cyber Monday.

Announcements will be made on both the retailers own websites and through their social media channels. To help you wade through the onslaught of real deals and pseudo-deals, we’ll be updating this page with the very best deals and information so be sure to check back.

Cyber Monday shopping tips

Buying a bike

Cyber Monday will be manic, you’ll be bombarded by deals and it’ll be tempting just to fork out the cash right away. However, chances are you’ll blow a load of cash and leave with products you necessarily didn’t want.

To best protect your bank balance, follow these tips…

Be well informed

A handful of retailers will remain completely silent about the details of their Black Friday sale until the actual day. Most will drip feed information, giving you a chance to prepare for your shopping in advance. Here’s how to stay informed:

Sign up to mailing lists: A plague that you avoid most of the year, ahead of Black Friday it’s actually a really good idea to subscribe to the mailing lists of major retailers, as they’ll often send priority invites to view sale stock ahead of the general public

Bookmark this page: Retailers will send us forewarning of their sale offers in the form of press releases – and we’ll publish the information on this page as soon as we’re able

Follow brands and retailers on social media: They will share details with their loyal followers in advance – so click ‘like’ and ‘follow’ to be first in the queue

Know what you want… and budget!

Cyber Monday will be filled with genuinely excellent discounts, but there will also be a fair amount of chaff.

Knowing products, and knowing what you want to purchase will be an enormous asset on the day and stop you getting side tracked by the kit you don’t need. In turn, it’ll go a long way to stopping you over spending.

Chances are some of the discounts will be same as those kicking around before the day anyway.

Check returns policies

As always, these vary from store to store – but in some cases returns may be limited to 30 days. So if you pick up a gift for someone on Black Friday, by Christmas day a return may be out of the question. Though we don’t doubt your gift giving prowess, it’s a good idea to bear this in mind.
